French term or phrase: 1er cycle
En fait j'ai "diplôme es-lettres 1er cycle" et " a subi avec succès les examens de première année du premier cycle"?

Clarification request(s) and response
Sophieanne: 11:12pm Jun 12, 2007: pardon, ce n'est pas "diplôme" mais licence...
Drmanu49: 11:15pm Jun 12, 2007: You already asked the question, license is Bachelor's Degree. But it is not "1er cycle". It corresponds to "deuxième cycle".
Sophieanne: 11:18pm Jun 12, 2007: that's why I'm confused. For me, it's 2nd cycle... but it says per cycle on the diploma
Drmanu49: 11:41pm Jun 12, 2007: What is the date mentioned?

undergraduate course/studies/program/degree
Explanation:
"The term "premier cycle", under the Bologna reform, now refers to the licence, rather than the DEUG, which is no longer a state-recognised degree. Simple as that." -- I agree.

a subi avec succès les examens de première année du premier cycle =

s/he successfully passed the exams for the first year of their B.A.
or sucessfully completed their first year of college/their undergraduate program

disagree Richard Benham: Sorry, but this is just not right! They've realigned the cycles under the Bologna reform.//This doesn't affect the obvious: "cycle" is never used for the YEAR of a licence.

first cycle

Explanation:
The term "premier cycle", under the Bologna reform, now refers to the licence, rather than the DEUG, which is no longer a state-recognised degree. Simple as that. There are countless references to be found to this with judicious Googling....

As far as I am aware, Nantes is currently part of France, and I got this from the local university's website: "Modalités d'inscriptions en premier cycle universitaire (Licence)", see <http://www.univ-nantes.fr/63849817/0/fiche_913__pagelibre/&g...

I suppose Nantes might be a bit close to Belgium. How about Marseille(s)? That must be in France. Didn't they name the national anthem after it?

disagree Drmanu49: In France??? it depends on the date.

  -> In Europe actually. "Licence"="premier cyle", but only since a coupla years ago, hence, if it's a "licence" and it says "premier cycle" on it, it must date from within the last coupla years. It's called logic.
